Unless you use a bunch of mages on spirits why would u need smoke? Because your unable to creat a build using his loot successfully idk what to tell you. I use skills on spirits. However my comment wasn't about dps skills on spirits it was mobs period. Your spirit group isn't ideal that's my comment. And so your telling me for what 6 months and all those wipes you had you could never get 40 people on? Hard to believe. 3 clans have been successfully doing it for a long time now and we started with worse gear and levels. The "gear isn't worth the effort" only goes so far as an excuse.
We use 1 Rogue, 1 Mage, 1 Warrior and 1 Druid on Ghosts, and handle them very well. Necro's loot is noob, period.. You'd have to be a noob to think it's not.
I don't use smoke, but if I did, I'd use it because I've missed auto's even with 4k attack, and it is the only offensive skill that would actually work on necro. By skills, you mean offensive skills? If so - that's noob.
We've also never wiped on Necro.. We have hopped off and reevaluated, never wiped. We were only testing for a month or so before we downed, where are you getting 6 months from? The 'gear isn't worth it' is also a fact, not an excuse.. I'm sure all other clans would and have agree'd with the loot statement.
All of your comments reek of inexperience.. You've always talked a good game but I don't think you play one.
